While in Ireland, Take in the Cliffs of Moher
While visiting Dublin and celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day is a lof fun, we will expose you to other ways of making your Ireland trip an unforgettable life experience. You can’t leave Ireland without having a special encounter with Ireland’s awe-inspiring nature. Located on the West coast of Ireland, the Cliffs of Moher displays nature in its wildest, purest form. It will be a tour to the one of the most spectacular natural wonders at the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way. Entice your five senses at a place where you will see the rugged cliffs facing the mighty ocean, taste the salty air, hear the birds cry, feel the ancient rocks beneath you feet, and smell the fresh wind.
The rocks that make up the Cliffs of Moher were formed over 300 million years ago during the Upper Carboniferous period. Bands of Namurian sandstone, siltstone and shale are exposed in a spectacular fashion and here you will see an example of a sedimentary basin normally only visible under the sea. Undoubtedly, the drive to the Cliffs of Moher is one of the most beautiful trips you’ll make in Ireland. As Ireland’s most popular natural attraction, the Cliffs can be very busy in the middle of the day and during the peak summer period from June to August. Like more than million-plus visitors who come to see them each year, you can look forward to a trip never to be forgotten: Ireland at its most natural, rugged, panoramic and breathtaking.
The different routes around the Cliffs of Moher and County Clare Coastline offer impressive views. This area has been named one of the 10 greatest Cycling Routes in the World. Cyclists enjoy a spectacular view and the freedom of the road. Part of the beauty of the Cliffs is that they can be cloaked in fog one minute and basking in the sun’s rays the next. As the Irish saying goes “there is a lot of weather in a March day.” As the weather can be unpredictable, come prepared for all types of weather--with a good rain jacket and a pair of hiking boots.
If you love hiking, this is the place to take in nature at its most beautiful. Enjoy the spectacular views, 750 feet at their highest point. Walkers can walk on the path from Fisher Street in Doolin all the way along the coast to the Cliffs. From there, you can take a path that runs the full length of the Cliffs down to Hags Head or you can carry on to Liscannor. The walk is 20 kilometres long in total. The walk from Doolin to the Cliffs will take approximately 2.5 hours (8 Kilometres). Starting at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre a round trip to Hag’s Head (12 kilometres) will take approximately 3 hours. It takes about 3 hours (12 kilometres) to walk to or from Liscannor Village.
